Beechy Bottom, Cat’s Elbow, and West Mountain

Saturday, December 28, 2024

Join us on this cool hike from the Anthony Wayne Area!

Whether 2024 has been great, challenging, or somewhere in between, say goodbye to it the proper way. Let’s go for one last hike together in 2024. Spend the end of the year in a company of good friends, or make new ones! Check out some mountain views! This hike is just right – not too hard, not too easy. You will encounter plenty of rolling hills to get your blood pumping, but it won’t be so hard you can’t keep the conversation going. And what AU hike would be complete without some treats? We’ll end at Bear Mountain Inn, where you’ll be able to say goodbye to 2024 over some hot chocolate with your fellow hikers. Let’s do it!

And as a bonus, this one is close to the City, so no long drive home.
